摘要： The structure and expression of exogenous genes in transgenic crops are critical for the target traits. R7569 has the same exogenous insertion structure as the transgenic insect-resistant cotton MON531 but with a deletion in the 3 ' end of the cry1Ac gene and the terminator region. Thus, in the present study, transcription, expression, and insecticidal activity assays were conducted to determine the function of the truncated cry1Ac gene. R7569 has a truncated cry1Ac gene with a length of 2554 bp encoding 881 amino acids, and the transcription termination site was mainly concentrated downstream of the truncated position and extended 160-270 bp from the truncated position using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The transcript levels of the cry1Ac gene in R7569 were significantly higher than those of MON531 implants, except for during the boll stage. The content of the Cry1Ac protein in R7569 was higher than that of MON531 in the cotton leaf in all three periods. The corrected mortality rates of R7569 and MON531 against bollworms were 93.09% and 88.83%, respectively. The LC50 value of R7569 was 0.732 ng/g (dw), indicating a high level of resistance to bollworm. In this study, for the first time, we found a partial deletion of the target gene in commercially applied transgenic crops, and the partial deletion of the 3 ' end of the cry1Ac gene retained a better transcription, expression level, and insecticidal activity, which can provide a specific case for the safety evaluation of transgenic crops.
